Bloomin’ Marvelous: Clean & Simple Card Ideas
Sometimes it’s the simplicity of a card that “makes” it, and the Bloomin’ Marvelous stamp set (last day to get it – March 22nd!) is perfect for this style.
Plus the Bitty Butterfly Punch (see it online – 129406) is a perfect match for the butterfly from this stamp set. Stamp first, then punch out a perfect image.
Sale-A-Bration closes today — so if you haven’t ordered for your last free Sale-A-Bration item, be sure to shop now so you won’t miss out!
Be sure to check more Clean & Simple card ideas on my blog.
Happy Stamping!

Sale-A-Bration: Tessellation Cards are perfect for guys
Looking for a guy card that doesn’t feature flowers or cutesy images? Try a tessellation-style image, like this one from the Madison Avenue stamp set (available for free only thru the end of this week – 129660).
What’s a tessellation? Good question! A tessellation is a repeating pattern where a symmetrical design element fits together over and over again – kind of like the alhambra element above. Want to learn more about tessellations? Here’s an art site devoted to tessellations.
The little punch pieces that fit perfectly with this stamp set are from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (see it online – 118309).
Don’t forget that Sale-A-Bration ends this Friday, March 22nd!

Paint Chip Technique: Feeling Sentimental
Looking for a fun new technique to add to your stamping repertoire? The Paint Chip Technique is a great companion for bold stamps or those with enough dense detail to be see easily on a busy background. Feeling Sentimental (see it online – 129630 – it’s a free Sale-A-Bration selection!) is a great stamp set choice.
This technique is just fun! You actually do it with masking tape…the kind used for painting walls. Plus it’s a great technique for guy cards, and I get lots of requests for those!
Paint Chip Technique Directions:
- Rip a piece of masking tape wider than your card stock.
- Press it into an ink pad, inking thoroughly.
- Press the inked tape onto the bottom of a Whisper White card stock.
- Lift the tape and press it again to make the next strip. Repeat until the card stock is filled. The color will lighten each time, creating a paint strip effect.
Super simple! And very effective — try it in a variety of colors. These two colors are both from the 2012-2014 In Color Collection: Midnight Muse and Gumball Green.
Want to see more Sale-A-Bration stamp set ideas? I have lots on my blog — only a few days left to order online and get your Sale-A-Bration selection for free.

New Product Feature: Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit
What do we all need? More time. Really, who can’t agree with that?
The good news is that you CAN get more time. I can help you!
Think about the time you spend sitting down to craft. How much time do you spend:
- searching for coordinating materials?
- trying 3-4-5-6 different colors of designer paper to see what matches?
- deciding what die cut embellishment to add?
What if it was REALLY easy to skip all those steps? Hello!! More CRAFTING time to enjoy putting your projects together!
One of my favorite Spring Catalog products for making this easy is the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit (see it online -131395). Here’s what you get:
- 9 embossed paper tags (the cute Crumb Cake ones)
- 9 fabric cover brads (*TIP* – dye them by pressing into your ink pad!)
- Precut paper flower pieces (tons and tons and tons of them)
- 9 pieces of Vanilla butcher’s twine
- “Just for You” wood-mount stamp (exclusive to this kit)
And the whole kit is only $12.95! Really, it’s pretty clever to put it all together and make it easy to use.
Love the designer paper in this project? It’s Summer Starfruit (to match the brad on the flower), and it’s from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (SAB – free item with a $50 order– #127540).
(Or you could always sign up for my Stamps in the Mail Club, which is a whole set of projects ready-to-create, direct to your mailbox.)

- Use the next size larger to cut around the hole, creating a ¼” frame piece.
